What command are you using to create the temp file?
re command to write the file:
f=open(fn,'w')
... then create HTML text in a string
f.write(html)
f.close
Hold it one moment... You're not actually calling close. The file's
still open. Is that a copy/paste problem, or is that your actual code?
In Python, a function call ALWAYS has parentheses after it. Evaluating
a function's name like that returns the function (or method) object,
which you then do nothing with. (You could assign it someplace, for
instance, and call it later.) Try adding empty parens:
f.close()
and see if that solves the problem. Alternatively, look into the
'with' statement and the block syntax that it can give to I/O
operations.
I say *definitely* use a 'with' statement. Part of its purpose is to
avoid close bugs.
